  • plaintextaccounting

    The plaintextaccounting.org website, a portal to Ledger, hledger, beancount and co. Also the PTA wiki.

  • I'm somewhat surprised that GNUCash was picked over Ledger or another of the plaintext systems out there:

    https://plaintextaccounting.org

    Maybe this was primarily done based on the users being comfortable with a GUI driven system?

  • qb-escape

    Fork of QuickBooks -> GnuCash migration scriptions from https://lwn.net/Articles/729087/

  • FYI, I recently tried to update the scripts and documentation for migrating from QuickBooks to gnucash : https://github.com/erikmack/qb-escape

    Would love if someone tried to package it into a standalone migration tool!

  • beancolage

    Prototype of a plaintext accounting environment using theia-ide, beancount, fava, and more...

  • > Maybe this was primarily done based on the users being comfortable with a GUI driven system?

    FWIW I started prototyping a plaintext accounting 'app' that combines a popular plaintext accounting system (beancount) with the most used web frontend for it (fava) - it's called beancolage and makes use of eclipse theia (vscode-like experience): https://github.com/seltzered/beancolage

  • gkapp

  • look at https://gitlab.com/gnukhata/gkapp/-/issues

    this is a AGPL V3.0 licensed accounting software aimed at small businesses and schools and professionals.

    Its currently being developed for indian market because devs are all based out of india so if anyone wants to implement for their own country, please submit a PR.

    we need more accounting softwares that are free and open source

  • helm

    Helm Chart Repository for Frappe/ERPNext (by frappe)

  • Frappe Cloud is by far the easiest way to run an ERPNext instance of you're okay with shared hosting. It's a Frappe framework-based app hosting service from the developers of ERPNext, and it supports data file imports from other instances of ERPNext:

    - Frappe Cloud: https://frappecloud.com

    In addition to the Frappe Bench setup process, Frappe procides instructions dfor swlf-hosting ERPNext with Docker and Kubernetes:

    - Docker: https://github.com/frappe/frappe_docker

    - Kubernetes: https://helm.erpnext.com

    There's also a third-party Docker image from pipech that's easier to setup, but it's not always up to date:

    - Third-party Docker (pipech): https://hub.docker.com/r/pipech/erpnext-docker-debian

    Bitnami packages ERPNext in single-tier (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and virtual machine (local computer) offerings:

    https://bitnami.com/stack/erpnext

    To anyone reading this, if you onpy need software for accountind and not an entire enterprise resource planning (ERP) suite, do yourself a favor and follow the advice in TFA to use GnuCash.
